A member asked:
I've been on the depo-provera shot for 3.5 weeks is it normal to bleed light brown blood consistent then randomly heavy red blood & cramps randomly ?

Absolutely: Your experience the normal pattern we see after giving the first depop shot. It is perfectly normal and there is nothing to worry about. This bleeding pattern, admittedly a potential nuisance, could continue for a few months. Usually this will just about stop after the second depop shot.
